C【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者回忆了小时候爬树的经历，讲述了爬树的乐趣，感叹 如今孩子们不再爬树的损失。28 .词义猜测题。根据第一段中“Sometimes two or three of my friends would join me in the sycamore, or in the maple down the street, or Mrs. DiMarco's old peach tree, some of whose stout horizontal branches allowed us to sit shoulder to shoulder, eating sweet fruit.（有时， 我 的两三个朋友会和我一起去梧桐树下，或者去街尾的枫树下，或者去迪马科太太的老桃 树下，那些横枝让我们可以肩并肩地坐在一起，吃着香甜的水果。）“可知，这些树 干可以承受几个孩子们坐在上面吃水果。由此推知，这些树干应该是粗壮的、结实的， stout与strong词义一致。故选D项。29 .段落大意题。根据第二段"In my small town there are some kinds of trees, their branches spreading wide, open for business. But I have not yet seen a climber. Perhaps computer games have replaced tree climbing, or maybe the activity went the way of monkey bars, which came to be viewed as too risky and have largely disappeared from playgrounds.（在我 的小镇有一些种类的树，它们的树枝伸展得很宽，开放营业着。但我还没有看到一个爬 树的人。也许是电脑游戏取代了爬树，或者是这项活动走上了单杠的道路，单杠被认为 风险太大，已经基本上从操场上消失了。）”可知，第二段主要描述了镇上已没有人爬树， 作者推测了这个现象的原因。因此，A项“孩子们不再爬树的原因”符合段落大意。故选 A项。30 .推理判断题。根据第三段中“I have always believed that, since low-hanging branches provide no benefit to the tree, they must be meant for the child. Robert Frost understood this when he wrote（我一直认为，既然低垂的树枝对树没有好处，那么它们一定是给孩子的。 罗伯特弗罗斯特明白这一点，他这样写道）”可知，作者认为罗伯特弗罗斯特的诗 体现了树是给孩子们爬着玩的这一想法。故选B项。31 .推理判断题。根据作者描述的小时候爬树的乐趣，结合倒数第二段中“grabbed the thing, and a moment later was sitting on a branch. Then the memories came flooding back. The old sycamore, the friends, and finally, the reluctance to return to earth when the parental call to supper came.（我抓住了那东西，不一会儿就坐在了一根树干上。然后记忆如潮水 般涌上心头。老梧桐树、朋友，最后，当父母喊吃晚饭时对回到地面的抗拒。）”可知， 作者在树上体味到了美好的回忆，想让学生一同体会爬树的快乐。由此推知，作者认为 学生错过了爬树的乐趣。故选C项。Tell me if this sounds familiar: You're trying to get some work done, and you find yourself continually picking up your cell phone. In frustration, you might slam the phone down beside you and swear to leave it alone-theoretically allowing you to focus on what you're doing. Right now my phone is sitting next to me untouched. But have I really protected myself from its distractions or its ability to impact my mind?The answer is no, according to a well-known study in the Journal of the Association for Consumer Research from 2017 entitled “Brain Drain （认知流失）:The Mere Presence ofOne's Own Smartphone Reduces Available Cognitive Capacity.Cognitive and social psychologist Adrian Ward and his colleagues proposed the "brain drain hypothesis by showing that just having a phone next to you could impact cognition-specifically, working memory, or the mental system that helps us hold information about what we're currently doing at a given moment.The way we measure it is by having people remember words and solve math problems at the same time. And the idea there is that those are two very different cognitive skills, word memory and math problems, but they,re tapping into that same general cognitive resource. In those experiments, people either had their phones on a desk, in their pockets or bags, or in the next room. The farther away a person's phone was, the better they did on those tasks. Even when you're not consciously thinking about your phone, the process of not thinking about your phone requires some cognitive resources.This was an interesting, though slightly concerning, finding that led to more studies on how the presence of our smartphones might be influencing how well we're able to think. But in a new meta-analysis that looked at data from 27 different brain drain studies, the story of the brain drain hypothesis has gotten a little more complicated. If it's just sitting next to you while you're working, is that a problem or not? And I think that's quite an important question to answer, to know more about.32. What's the purpose of paragraph 1?A. To classify a concept of the passage.B. To introduce the topic of the passage.C. To make an overall outline for the passage.D. To offer a general background of the passage.33. Which statement would Adrian Ward most probably agree with?A. Smartphones enable constant connection to latest information.B. Mobile device use does not affect performance on mental system.C. Cognitive capabilities are largely determined by working memory.D. The presence of smartphones accounts for the damage to cognition.34. What do we know about the participants in the experiment?A. They were only required to perform mathematical tasks.B The outcome was better if phones were used less frequently.C. They consciously thought about phones when memorizing words.D. The distance from phones to people was related to their performance.35 . Whafs the best title of the text?A. How does Your Phone Damage Your Memory?B . How does Your Phone Wear Your Brain out?C. Is Your Phone Actually Draining Your Brain?D. Is Your Phone Influencing Your Working Performance?【答案】32. B 33. D 34. D 35. C【导语】这是一篇说明文。认知和社会心理学家提出的“认知流失假说”认为手机放在身 边会影响认知能力。32 .推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句"Right now my phone is sitting next to me untouched. But have I really protected myself from its distractions or its ability to impact my mind?（现 在我的手机放在我旁边，没有动过。但是，我真的保护自己免受它的干扰或它影响我的 思维能力吗？户可知，作者认为即使不动手机，自己也可能受其干扰，并就此话题提出 一个问题，待下文解答。故可推测第一段的写作意图是介绍这一主题。故选B项。33 .推理判断题。根据第三段“Cognitive and social psychologist Adrian Ward and his colleagues proposed the "brain drain hypothesis by showing that just having a phone next to you could impact cognition-specifically, working memory, or the mental system that helps us hold information about what we're currently doing at a given moment.（认知和社会心理 学家Adrian Ward和他的同事提出了“认知流失假说。他们表明，只要你身边有一部手 机，就会影响认知，特别是工作记忆，或者帮助我们掌握特定时刻正在做什么的信息的 心理系统）“可知，Adrian Ward和其同事认为手机在身旁会影响认知，并提出“认知流失 假说: 故可推测，Adrian Ward认为手机在身边会破坏认知能力。故选D项。34 .细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句"The farther away a person's phone was, the better they did on those tasks.?（一个人的手机离得越远，他们在这些任务上做得越好）”可知，手 机离人越远，人们的表现就越好；即手机与人的距离和人的表现有关。故选D项。35 .主旨大意题。根据第一段最后两句"Right now my phone is sitting next to me untouched. But have I really protected myself from its distractions or its ability to impact my mind?（现 在我的手机放在我旁边，没有动过。但是，我真的保护自己免受它的干扰或它影响我心 灵的能力吗?）“和最后一段最后两句"If it's just sitting next to you while you're working, is that a problem or not? And I think that's quite an important question to answer, to know more about.（如果你工作时它只是在你旁边，那是不是有问题？我认为这是一个非常重要的问 题，需要回答，需要了解更多）”可知，作者认为即使不动手机，自己也可能受其干扰,而在文章最后仍然认为这个问题需要更多的了解，故可知本文主要就是探讨手机导致的认知流失假说”和手机对认知的影响。故选c项。五、七选五Advice For Dealing With UncertaintyWe are living in uncertain times, going through changes that we can't control.
